[English]

I know you see me now right now

(I know you see me now right now)

I know you see me now right now (Right now, right now)

I know you see me now right now (Right now)

I know you see me now right now

I got my suit and tie and i dont know if yall know

Well maybe yall do or maybe yall dont

But i dont really care (yeah)

Cus how we on it all the time (uh)

So imma get my money lets go

Now imma need you to kill the hypocrisy, this an aristocracy

Im Socrates but my skin more chocolaty

"Whats up wooo?" Thats old news

Im in a speed boat, in my boat shoes

Ha?

I swear my whole collection so cruise

I might walk in nobu, with no shoes

He just walked in nobu like it was wholefoods

That nigger crazy i told you

Immatue adult insecure asshole (What else)

If you fall on the concrete thats your asphalt

If you pass on that Kane beat, thats your last thought

Get what you ask for i swear thats your ass thought

She got a big booty but she couldnt drop that ass low

So you take your last hoe and rope up all the cash flow

When you getting money they be all up on your ass yo

When you getting money cuts dont matter cus a nigger past go

Straight to jail yo, in a hell hole

Right next to lucifer, tell him i said hello

Ask if imma be there soon, and tell him i said hell no.

Yo what you say when your people get out of jail huh?

My niggers is home, i guess i got everything

Everything i want, but i dont

Know matter how good it gets it will never be like before

No women in the crowd, screaming and its loud

Doing things not allowed

And i swear its going down right now

I know one thing my momma would be proud

And you see me looking up

Cus i know shes looking down right now

(Charlie Wilson - Chorus)

I know you see me now right now

(I know you see me now right now)

I know you see me now right now (Right now, right now)

I know you see me now right now (Right now)

I know you see me now right now

Poor the champagne let your watch show

Shortie got a man watch, wrist look colossal

I admit my first watch was a fossil

Now im in the louvre looking for fossils

Attention to detail is so uncanny

And the whips on this? is so uncamrie

Somebody needs to put us on camera

The world of rollies and everyones family

Stay jordan fresh suites and ferraris coupes

N shortie watch barneys? we head the barneys?

End up at 'mani giorgi and service from sergio pacini

Lamborghini the chain blow off the vertigo

I know the flow just hit a hella-fied vertical

This the cris year, last year was magic 32

Lyricaly cant' none of yall murder Ye'

Cus yall raps aint got no vertebrae

I got style ask julie she heard in may

I killt the fur last, Paris rasied the murder rate

FIrst of all we all know the beats is

Like a mix between fergie and jeez

Imagine the direction of this immaculate conception

Everyone of his majesty's swim partys is pageantrys

Cannon ball of the diving board when i am bored

All my hommies GD's but i am lord

Rap god, Greek mythology

And this life to crazy to think logicaly

Heres somthing that you can use an analogy

My life is like a childs solutions become reality

Now go get my throne cus i dont wanna stop

I just go in my zone and imma make it hot

Till its time to go when its time to go

Where you trying to go? you better act like you can see me know

I know you see me now right now

(I know you see me now right now)

I know you see me now right now (Right now, right now)

I know you see me now right now (Right now)

I know you see me now right now
